Q: my grandpa has alzheimers and he fell down the stairs last night. apparently his head was gushing blood and he wasn't responding to anyone and now he is in a coma. I don't think i fully understand what a coma is, and i really want to know if it's possible for him to live or what? what does this all mean? please help

I'm sorry to hear this. Of course, there is a chance he will live. There can be a chance he will never wake up, though. Also, if he does wake up, there could be a chance he may not be the same at all.
Technically, a coma is like a vegitative state. You are unconcious, but you can hear what's going on around you. Sometimes doctors put people in drug-induced comas when the body can't handle the illness taken upon him. Other times, the body does this on it's own. Sort of like a recorvery time.
I hope for the best for your grandfather, you, and your family.
